Dirty Talk With Funny Lady Kristen Schaal, Author of The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex

Do you like to laugh? Do you like sex? Do you like to laugh about sex? Of course you do. Which is why I am beyond thrilled to share some hilariously sexy news with you.

Real-life couple Kristen Schaal and Rich Blomquist recently collaborated on a sex book unlike anything we’ve seen before and they’re calling it: The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex. The super funny love birds filled their book with LOL-worthy illustrations, wacky pictures and sex tips that they’ve personally tested.

Kristen is a comedian and actress who starred as Mel, the adorable super fan on Flight of the Conchords. Rich is a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Last week, I spoke with Kristen about their book; I’m still giggling over it all and you can bet I’ve used the term “wide-on” more than a few times since.

Rosemary: Why did you decide to write a sex book?

Kristen: I would only write what the world lacked. And that was a ground breaking sex book.

Rosemary: How’d you conduct your research for the book?

Kristen: Authors should only write what they know, therefore research wasn't necessary.

Rosemary: Who did you have in mind when writing the book? Who was your target audience?

Kristen: Humanity. And more importantly, humans with hard-ons and wide-ons*. (*The female equivalent of a boner.)

Rosemary: How has the book affected your own sex life?

Kristen: Now that we have finished writing we can make love without the laptops between the two of us. Less painful now.

Rosemary: What should readers take away from all of this?

Kristen: A new leader in the ongoing sexual revolution.

Rosemary: Any tips for keeping the spark alive in the bedroom?

Kristen: If you're still having sex in a bedroom then you definitely need to buy this book.

Rosemary: What’s up next? A sexy book tour? A new book on entertaining, gardening, fashion or pet care?

Kristen: Now I suppose Rich and I will go back to our supremely satisfying work as archeologists, or as we like to call it professional bone dusters.

Thanks for the chuckles Kristen!

Are you a fan of Kristen Schaal? Do you and your gal pals have a sense of humor when you’re chatting about sex? What about you and your guy? Do you think you’ll pick up this book? I’m definitely scooping up a few copies for holiday gifts. And if you were to write a sex book, would it be your own version of the Kama Sutra? A racy tell-all memoir? Or something fun like The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex?
